I have told so many evangelicals online and in person that if they want to know what the reason is for so many people declaring themselves "nones" and flat-out atheists, all they have to do is look in their bathroom mirrors. That their hypocrisy and often hatefulness, is forever enshrined on the internet for all to see, claiming to speak for God when it's most convenient and worshiping at the altar of Trump the rest of the time. I tell them to keep up the good work. With their continued help, we might just move on from bronze-age goat-herder morality stories.
